1) Your kid doesn't care if his clothes come from Janie and Jack. At all. Give up that Mommy war.
2) Be in the moment. If you are at work, BE at work. If you are playing with your kids, let go of thinking about the laundry you need to do or tomorrow's deadline. Try not to divide your attention.
Good article except for the one thing - being able to work from home. Not everyone has this luxury. Every single article I read always mentions this - like it's an automatic option for every working mom to do it from home once in awhile if she chooses to. That's just not the case for everyone. Some of us actually have to go into the office every day 5 days a week - or else use vacation time.

Agreed. I can't exactly teach school from my living room...at least not at my current job!

LOL so true! However, in our case I think it's me who has the obsession with Janie and Jack...I don't care what others think (I have tons of inexpensive Carter's stuff for LO too), but the pineapple collection at J & J over the summer totally did me in, lol!
